Enhancement of foam stability has been recently evidenced with addition of nanoparticles (NPs), especially in the case of CO2 foams. Stabilized foams via solid NPs can potentially withstand high reservoirs temperatures. Studies have been conducted to examine the effect of NPs on foam stability; howe...
